  • Page 12: Chapter 1 Getting Started

    Enter Setup Chapter 1 Getting Starte Barcode Programming Scanning the Enter Setup barcode can enable the scanner to enter the setup mode. Then you can scan a number of programming barcodes to configure your engine. To exit the setup mode, scan the Exit Setup barcode.

  • Page 13: Chapter 2 Scan Mode

    Enter Setup Chapter 2 Scan Mode Batch Mode This round of multiple scans continues until the active trigger signal is no longer present. Rereading the same barcode is not allowed if it was decoded previously in the same round. For good read, the engine transmits decoded data via communication port.

  • Page 14: Trigger Mode

    Enter Setup Trigger Mode The session continues until the barcode is decoded or decode session timeout expires or the active trigger signal is no longer present. For good read, the scanner transmits decoded data via communication port. To activate another session, the Host needs to first negate the trigger, waits 20ms or longer and then drive the TRIG pin low.

  • Page 15: Level Trigger/Pulse Trigger

    Enter Setup Level Trigger/Pulse Trigger Level trigger: Decode session is activated and continued by constant active trigger signal. The decode session ends once the barcode is decoded or decode session timeout expires. Pulse trigger: Decode session is activated by electric pulse of trigger signal. The decode session continues until the barcode is decoded or decode session timeout expires.

  • Page 16: Timeout Between Decodes (Same Barcode)

    Enter Setup Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) can avoid undesired rereading of same barcode in a given period of time. To enable/disable the Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode), scan the appropriate barcode below. Enable Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode): Do not allow the engine to re-read same barcode before the timeout between decodes (same barcode) expires.

  • Page 17: Sense Mode

    Enter Setup Sense Mode If the Sense Mode is enabled, the scanner activates a decode session every time it detects a change in ambient illumination. The decode session continues until the barcode is decoded or the decode session timeout expires. Driving the TRIG pin on the host interface connector low can also activate a decode session.

  • Page 18: Image Stabilization Timeout

    Enter Setup Image Stabilization Timeout This parameter defines the amount of time that the scanner waits for the image to stabilize to a point that it can be decoded with more accuracy. It is programmable in 1ms increments from 0ms to 1,600ms. The default setting is 500ms.To learn how to program this parameter, see Appendix 4.

  • Page 19: Timeout Between Decodes (Same Barcode)

    Enter Setup Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode) can avoid undesired rereading of same barcode in a given period of time. To enable/disable the Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode), scan the appropriate barcode below. Enable Timeout between Decodes (Same Barcode): Do not allow the scanner to re-read same barcode before the timeout between decodes (same barcode) expires.

  • Page 20: Sensitivity

    Enter Setup Sensitivity Sensitivity specifies the degree of acuteness of the scanner response to changes in ambient illumination. The higher the sensitivity, the lower requirement in illumination change to trigger the scanner. You can select an appropriate degree of sensitivity that fits the ambient environment. Medium Sensitivity Low Sensitivity High Sensitivity...

  • Page 21: Continuous Mode

    Enter Setup Continuous Mode This mode enables the scanner to scan/capture, decode and transmit over and over again. When the scanner is operating in Continuous Mode, barcode reading can be suspended/resumed through control over the trigger signal. When barcode reading is in progress, negating the trigger signal after having maintained it for 30ms or longer will suspend barcode reading;...

  • Page 27: Aiming

    Enter Setup Aiming When scanning/capturing image, the scanner projects an aiming pattern which allows positioning the target barcode within its field of view and thus makes decoding easier. Normal: The scnner projects an aiming pattern only during barcode scanning/capture. Always ON: Aiming pattern is constantly ON after the scanner is powered on. OFF: Aiming pattern is OFF all the time.
